Somewhat Of A Warning: Very Mild Sexual Theme/ Suggestion At The End Of The Chapter

You had been living in the Clock Tower ever since you had somehow found your way into this mysterious and deadly Wonderland. Living anywhere else didn't seem like the best choice since you knew that there was a very small chance of you getting hurt while living with the Clockmaker.

Being the person you were, you actually managed to befriend the musically challenged Marquis and he even lent you one of his beloved violins as a gift. Though the violin was obviously the wrong shape, Nightmare quickly helped with that problem by giving you a real violin once the land had changed to the Joker Season.

Now living in the Clover Tower, you still shared a room with the bluenette haired workaholic since you were concerned for his health because he was still not eating or sleeping properly. That was of one of your many excuses to stay by his side because you really didn't want to be separated from him.

Back when you still lived with him in the Country Of Hearts, it had soon became clear that you had grown quite fond of the Clockmaker.

His hands moving like magic to fix everything that was broken, being cold hearted yet sweet at the same time, everything about him had you hooked...

"Hey ___, your thinking of him again.~" Nightmare teased when you had spaced out while sitting next to him in his office.

"I'm only here because Gray had insisted that I stay and watch you while he's out, you would just fly away again if I let you be you caterpillar." You responded coldy as you lightly punched his arm.

A few time periods ago, Gray had confronted you about watching over his boss while he went out to to run a few errands. Of course you said alright since you had inevitably made a fool out of yourself in front of the guy you love...

That's how you got stuck with babysitting the Dream Demon while he finishes the incredible stack of paper work that's layered all over his desk.

"Feisty as ever I suppose..." He mumbled under his breath. He then turned to face you with a slightly wicked grin on his face. "Then again, you did break one of the Clockmakers precious clocks.~"

"I swear Nightmare..." Your voice trailed off as you glanced over to your violin case that laid next to your chair. The sickly incubus that sits next to you had been kind enough to give you playing lessons so now you could actually play some rather difficult songs.

But your absolute favorite song had to be the one you had composed only a few days ago.

It was a beautiful melody with an almost mechanical like tune to it. Everything you felt towards the Clockmaker was practically forced onto the page. Your love, your hatred, and even your admiration towards him were clearly expressed throughout the whole piece, yet he would never find out.

The piece would never be played with the bluenette as your audience since you never planned on confessing to him...

"Aaawwwwwww~ you know ___, you really should confess sooner or later..." Nightmare said with puppy dog eyes after he clearly read your thoughts. Gray then opened the office door and walked towards Nightmare and yourself with a few more documents in hand for his boss to look over.

"You know better than to meddle with her business Lord Nightmare..." Gray said as he gave Nightmare a slightly annoyed look and then sighed. "But I must agree with you on this one, just go and play him your song ___ and if he doesn't get the message than he doesn't deserve you."

"Fine, fine, I'll go and play for him in a few time periods as my apology for breaking one of his clocks..." You mumbled under your breath. Nightmare practically shrieked with excitement and joy while Gray gave you an encouraging smile.

With a sigh, you slowly got up out of your chair and grabbed your violins case. You glanced back over to Nightmare and Gray as they practically shooed you out of the room.

Needless to say that after you had been kicked out of their office, you went on a little adventure and walked around the entire Clover Tower. You went to the kitchen, to a couple of different lounges, the cafeteria looking area, and even to the gardens just so you didn't have to go and face the Clockmaker head on.

But the Dream Demon and Mr. Lizard had inevitably found you and forced you to go back to your shared room with said man...

"So why exactly would those two put you under lock down ___?" The Clockmaker asked without as much looking up at you as he sat behind his desk, working on repairing the broken clocks.

"They wanted me to practice my violin and said that here would be the best place to do so." You easily lied as you carefully unpacked your instrument and grabbed your music.

"I don't mind so do as you wish."

Neither of you spoke after that as you went and put your stand up a little ways away from his desk and made sure to have your back facing him. Softly placing your bow on the string, you began to play.

At first it was slow and almost emotionless with a rather flat and mechanical like tone to it. But it soon turned into a lively melody with a little hint of something beneath the main meaning. Then as it reached its climax, the mechanical tune and lively melody were completely taken over by another melody that clearly emanated love.

You hadn't even noticed that the Clockmaker had set down his tools and was now completely staring at you as the song slowly came to it's conclusion.

The ending you had written almost told the audience that you had given up on something. In reality, you had written the last verse of the song to show that you had given up on expressing your love and decided to keep it a secret.

"I've never heard that piece before..." The bluenette in the room muttered as he got up from his chair and approached you. "It's a love song is it not?"

"You could say that..."

"And your the composer of this piece...." He continued to to whisper under his breath as he moved to stand next to you while you calmly held your violin and bow in front of your torso.

"This is going absolutely no where!" Nightmare yelled as he barged into the room and stormed over to you both.

"Now do it correctly or I will interfere more..." He whispered to you as he moved rather closely to you and took your instrument and bow out of your grasp. Then with one swift movement, he shoved you back first directly into the bluenette and flew out of the room in less than a few seconds.

You could feel your face heating up as your back was then firmly pressed against the Clockmakers chest as he wrapped his arms around your waist. He kept you in his arms while he moved his head down just enough so he could rest it in the crook of your neck.

"U-Um, Julius...?"

"You're a very troublesome woman, you know that ___?" He whispered into your ear. "I can't concentrate on my work anymore because of you. I can't stand it when you go and visit the other Roleholder's. I can't stand any of it because I've fallen in love with you."

The Clockmaker remained silent as you practically had a heart attack at the words he just spoke. Never did you think that this seemingly cold hearted workaholic would ever return your feelings.

You started to blush as his arms around your waists tightened and he moved even closer to your ear, making it so that his lips just barely brushed the tip of your earlobe as he spoke in a very deep voice.

"So ___, do you love me?"

"I-I...." You paused for a moment to get your stuttering and heartbeat under control as he lightly licked the skin right under your ear. Everything happening at once like this made it nearly impossible for you to even concentrate let alone respond to him.

"I'm waiting ___.~" He whispered clearly amused with your reactions to his touch.

Finally having some of your sanity return, you managed to mutter a few words...

"I love you Julius Monrey."

All I could think as I wrote this was "well that escalated quickly". I hope you enjoyed this random oneshot that's based off of a dream I had a night or two ago.
